wasted away again in gonorrheaville.


thanksgiving was fab. my absolute favorite day of the year so far. and this has been a big year for me. i loved spending the day with my family. thanks to those of you who made it what it was.

******

this "month" (starting last wednesday), i'll be hanging out in the teen clinic. which is located betwen the ghetto and the slum. and my patient population is a fairly homogenous blend of STD infected teenage girls presenting for their quarterly pregnancy tests and yearly HIV screens. it will be so incredibly relaxing.

the best part is that it's a vacation month. so i'm technically on vacation. and since i didn't see the inside of my house the better part of last month, i'm planning a lot of nothing for this week. i put up my christmas tree (though it's a little sad and empty... my "collection" of decorations is not quite up to snuff...) and turned on my pretend fireplace and listened to christmas music and made homemade beef stew tonight. it's almost like i'm a real person with normal work hours (i did go in to the hospital for a few hours today to finish up paperwork from last month) and a normal life.

i'll bask in the glory of such a week for a few more days. and then? back to gonorrheaville.

What a lovely bunch of kids. I love them all.

I like the new blog look too. It is easy to read.

Ooooh my, I don't know if I will ever hear that song and not think of this blog. Glad you have a bit of a break. When will the next big break be?? Love and Kisses
